rev England Horses
From the Springfield Republican,
One OF w. c. Primes recent letters to
the NclU YORK. journal Of Commerce con
tains tome pertinent observations for New
England farmers. lie has been taking his
annual carriage drive through New Hamp
shire and Vermont, and notes the absence
of good horses, the high prices which such
horses bring and the strange fact that
these high prices do not seem to tempt
New England farmers to go into the work
of horse breeding In drive of $50 miles
with his eyes constantly open to horses, he
saw only three colts under year old and
few horses worth much over $50 and many
not worth $2j. He attended several agri-
cultural fairs, so called, but which were
really horse Taces-contests among style
OF animals that are of little use to the
farmer, while the great mass of horses
that brought the people together were
sorry specimens, fit neither for work nor
show. He finds that the few really good
animals to be seen here and there are
generally brought from Canada or from the
West, and are rarely Of New England
stock. lie concludes that the character
OF New England horses is deterorating,
aud he is about right; and what is more
our cattle shows. or rather hOrSe-races, are
doing nothing to lead to an improvement
of the stock-at least such stock as farm
ers want and people generally want.
DIR. Primes letter for one thing should
serve to call the attention of New England
farmers to a profitable industry. We
hear much now Of the hard times our ag-
riculturists are having in making their
business pay. The Republican while
ago pointed out how farm property in near
ly every section of New England had been
depreclating in value, and how farms
were beng mOrtgaged and deserted. y
ug article in the Boston Advertiser a
uay or two ago touches upon these De
pressing features of farm life in Massd
chusetts. 1t estimates that the average
net profit to the farmers of Franklin
county does not much exceed SO year
Now the chief reason for all TINS is that
the farmers have been too slow in adapt
ing themselves to the changed conditions
about them. They have been going on III
the same old ruts, much like the tenant
farmers of England who have been cling
Ing to their wheat crops in the face OF a
ruluous competition with the boundless
wheat fields Of the Northwest and of India,
and who now wake up to find their prop
erty deprecated 30 per cent and them
selves bankrupt. Our farmers cannot
compete with the West in beef cattle rails
ing or grain growing, but there are plenty
of things in which they can compete, and
one OF these is the breeding of good horses.
There Is always a demand for them and
paying prices, and of all places in the
world New England is best adapted to
this sort of industry. Indeed, 1t would
seem that blooded stock of all sorts pecul-
lar to tins section might be attended to
with profit on these ut present Improbable
farms of

Drains.
From the Mirror.l

w. Arey, OF West Hampden, Me-, says
/ have made about 500 rods of drains. The
great trouble with stone drains is that
people put in too many stones. There
should be two feet of earth over the stones
There is no need of laying a drain at the
bottom; set Hat stones edgewise at the
sills and then about a foot of small fiat
stones leveled down; then cover the
stones with straw or shavings to keep { e
dirt out. have made drains in this way
for 35 years and they are good yet,
c,pting one in which | put too many
stones Most stone drains fill up in four
or five years. See that the drain is kept
level Til the earth Is settled, and there is
no danger.
Remarks In draining, as in many
other operations on the farm, the nature
OF the soil makes a difference in the neces-
sary methads In some soils, fine gravel
aud blue clay, for instance, there might
be no danger of a drain filling up by Il
rush of water through the soil but in
most alable soils there Is danger, and Mr..
Arey admits that where too many stones
are used drain will fill up in five years,
If the filing is flat stones with no open
waterway at the bottom, it might serve
good purpose If it was safe from getting
clogged but when ditch is open it is
much etter to make sure of its usefulness
than to have to dig it all up again.

The Poultry Yard.

BY feeding poultry in troughs much
waste is avoided. If food is thrown on
the ground quantity of it is finally lost
by being trampled into the dirt, While
another portion is lost by becoming too
fine, if soft food to be picked up. BY
feeding in troughs the poultryman can
tell how much is left over, which, if at
once removed, especially in cool weather,
may be saved and fed at another meal.
Whenever the hens have eaten enough
they will walk off and leave the food As
soon as the last hen has had her share, re
move that which is left over. After 50
feeding for a short time the exact quaint
ty may be measured aud fed to them.
You cannot give too much light in the
poultry house during the day, as there is
nothing the hens detest so much as gloom
or darkness. No matter how comfortable
the hen-house may be the birds will 90
outside, during all kinds of weather, rath-
er than remain where there is Il lack of
cheerfulness. Plenty of glass allows not
only light but heat, ana If the house IS
ligtt, and dust bath placed near the
window, the hens will take advantage of
it, They also prefer pure air, hence leave
the doors open, but allow of no draughts.
If this is done the hens will keep in condi-
ton and lay in the coolest weather.
If the hens are very fat starve them I'M
til they become poor rather than to allow
them to remain in the fat condition. For
market the fat hen is best, but for laying
the hen in moderate or even poor condl-
ton, is better than the fat hen. The only
food the fat hen should have may be oats
at night, giving nothing else, and allowing
no food duling the day.
The best way to get rid of lice in the
henhouse is to thoroughly saturate every
portion with strong boiling soapsuds, first
adding a pint of kerosene to every bucket
of the sdds. 1t should be forced into every
crack and crevice, aud also on the under
side of the roof, as well as on the walls.
A poultry house l7X13 feet will accom-
modate forty hens in the winter, and
twenty pounds of coal per day at a cost Of
less than five cents will keep the tempera-
ture at about 40. With this sort of hen
house on may look for eggs in the cold
est months, and the combs will never be
frosted.
Turkeys for Christmas are shut up in a
light, dry and roomy house the first week
IN November; troughs with as much
maize and as good barley as they can eat
should always be by them, and they
should have two good meals day of just
as much barley meal mixed with sour milk
as they can eat, and milk TO drink. Sliced
mangl4s, turnips, sweeds and cabbage are
useful and necessary, and plenty of lime,
sand, ashes and brickdust should be kept
in the corners of the house. 1t is found to
be most important that the tToughs
be well cleaned out every morning, and
all surplus food removed, for on farm
there are usually plenty of other fowls e
eat up what is left by the turkeys. Fed
In this way, they rapidly put on flesh,
which is usually very white in color and
fine ia texture.

Sometimes more than personal In

to hear his voice. There is the re-
spect which society pays to authority.
and especially where the authority

A sedentary profession, the necessity
Of labor, continuous public duty In
minor offices and an early election to
the Presidency have made hitherto im-
practicable the journey he now pro-
poses.
Mr.. Cleveland will sec what no Pres

Choral hydrate is one of the best

duce the delightful. dreamy condition
that follows the use of the last-named

some as an habitual dose to induce

should be natural in order to be refresh

artificial condition resembling natural
sleep in some respects, but not giving
the weary brain all the rest it needs in
order that waste of substance shall be
followed by complete repair. The
choral habit is not easily formed, for
the taste of the mixture in which it is
necessarily given is not pleasant. There
are instances of it being formed and the
consequences are mental and physical
debility. the former sometimes amount
ing almost to complete imbecility. Like
the other drugs of its class, it should
not be taken except by the advice of a
competent physician. Insomnia-sleep-
